This 1422V profile variable speed cogged belt is 0.875” wide, is built by Goodyear Engineered Products for 22 degree angle pulleys, and is suitable for variable-speed sheave drives requiring precise speed control across a broad range of speed changes. Its milled-edge construction provides a firm gripping action with the sheave for positive traction that prevents the belt from stretching over time. The variable speed belt is built with high-strength Flexten tension members, a synthetic reinforcement that increases tensile strength and reduces initial elongation by 50 percent to maintain dimensional stability so that drive performance is consistent over the life of the belt. Cogs on the belt’s underside increase lengthwise flexibility and allow for use on small pulley drives with no loss of gripping action or cross rigidity. Cogged construction helps prevent cracking, which causes premature belt failure. The variable speed belt is suitable for high horsepower drives that require more tension and increased resistance to shock loads and is static conductive, making it appropriate for use in the presence of explosive gases, liquids, powders, and other substances where the possibility of static sparks must be kept to a minimum. This variable speed belt is oil, heat, ozone, and abrasion resistant, making it suitable for use with recreational equipment, agricultural applications, and machine tools.

Variable speed belts are designed for operating at multiple speeds that may change quickly, such as treadmills, medical equipment, and automobiles. The belts are wide in proportion to their thickness, and have a precision-molded, uniform cross section that maintains alignment without vibration problems. This extends the life of the belt, bearings, sheaves, and other drive components. The variable speed belt is constructed to withstand a broad range of operational environments.
